AIDA Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt because they are clearly understaffed/unprepared for their happy hour deals (1 server and 1 chef when every table was full), but we were continually disappointed. Although there were great prices for the sushi, drinks are overpriced. For some reason, sushi places in Lima don't seem to give wasabi/ginger with the rolls. After the server said she'd bring us some, she never returned to our table and didn't mention it when we paid our bill (for which we had to wait at the counter since she didn't bring it to us within 20 minutes of finishing our food). We were going to order another roll, but didn't bother when we couldn't get her attention for a while. It felt like she was ignoring tables, as several tables were constantly trying to get her attention and getting frustrated. When we were paying, I noticed those tables that had finished and left hadn't been bussed, but the server didn't seem in any hurry to clean them and it was only halfway through their happy hour special. I don't blame her feeling tired and overwhelmed by the crowd, but their customer service suffers and they are not getting as many customers as they could if they had a second server to get customers in and out faster.

Besides the service, though, I was completely underwhelmed by the sushi itself. We ordered 4 different veggie rolls, which each had several ingredients that should have made them unique and flavorful. But for some reason, they all tasted bland. The only flavor that stuck out to me was cream cheese, which isn't really the flavor I want to take away from a...

Good - The food. I ordered the California roll, mozzarella rolland another roll I forget. It had avocado and tempura shrimp. As far as taste goes, all were great. I asked for no cream cheese (Philadelphia) because I don’t like it and they accommodated me. 25 soles for 15 pieces and a drink. Good deal. Bad - The pieces of sushi are really small compared to the United States, you might want to order more if you’re hungry, I thought 15 was going to be a lot but it really wasn’t, as you can see on the picture. The soy sauce wasn’t that salty and the syrupy sweet sauce was really good on all of the sushi. Ugly - payment process took like 5 minutes. The machine ran out of battery and the waiter had to charge it. Not terrible, but still, how does that happen? The creamy sauce on the side, I didn’t touch it after my...

Really great food, good service and ambiance. However it's a bit expensive for the quality they offer, so that impacts their rating negatively.

They do have an "all you can eat" option, as most sushi places in this price range do (s/.40 - 50), but unlike the rest it doesn't include drinks; which easily bump up the price by at least s/.6, and that's only buying one drink.

When I ate there I wasn't expecting this and had to only order a glass of tea to be able to tip, making that glass last a whole meal...
